The Ashes 2021-22 has finally come to an end and contrary to the expectations, it has turned out to be a rather one-sided affair. Australia went on to win the five-match Test series by 4-0. However, the action wasn't over even after the completion of the fifth Test in Hobart.

While celebrating the end of battle for the Urn, Australia and England's cricketers were kicked out of a rooftop bar. This video showed a few Tasmanian police officers asking the players to leave the vicinity. The cricket stars who were present were Nathan Lyon, Travis Head, Alex Carey, Joe Root and James Anderson.

As a matter of fact, the Aussie spinner and wicketkeeper were still wearing their cricket whites, eight hours after Australia wrapped up a 4-0 series victory on Sunday night. According to a report by Daily Mail Online, A Tasmania Police spokesman said that the officers were called to reports due to 'intoxicated people in a function area'. However, it has been reported that no action will be taken against the players.

"You're too loud and have obviously been asked to pack up," a female officer was heard saying in the video. "We have been asked to come. It's time for bed," she added. The person recording this video then said that he was filming the players being removed from the venue "for the lawyers".

 

"We got Nathan Lyon, Root, there's Carey and Anderson,' the man said. I'll just use the video for the lawyers. See you in the morning, everyone," he was heard saying. Thus, Crowne Plaza Hobart witnessed a unique occurrence on Monday morning.

A clock in the background of the video indicated that they were kicked out at around 6 AM in the morning. This footage instantly viral after the Brits were humiliated in the final Test of the series. Ironically, Travis Head, who won the Player of the Series award, was also present during this incident.
